Pick Your Poison! Warm Beverage "Bar"

I pretty much never turn down the opportunity to entertain(much to the chagrin of my husband).Fall is my favorite season to do just that- our skies here are bright and sunny, the air is crisp and there are so many reasons for having guests over.

When guests arrive for a party of event I like to "be ready."

I have found that having beverages ready and waiting eases that initial party rush.

1. The whole process was simple. I ran my die through the die cutter . I choose to do one type of paper per type of beverage. Then I ran the black paper through the die cutter to make the ovals for labeling. Go visit Lifestyle Crafts for a great tutorial on how to die cut!

2. The die has a tab on the back for easy assembly and placement.

(HINT: if your cup is a bit smaller, just use some adhesive to make the drink sleeve smaller)

3. Write out the beverage choices on the ovals and affix to the drink sleeve.

NOTE: You can use the drink sleeve on many reusable coffee cups too. I happen to be using a recyclable cup because there are so many people coming over and some of the events are not at my home.

Isn't this FUN and EASY...and let me tell you, a set up like this is a huge time saver when you are prepping for the guests.

You can grab your own drink sleeve die at Lifestyle Crafts. It is a part of the new Wintertide collection and a great addition to the Fall and Winter holiday paperie!

Hey Rachel! I just set this up for guests as they arrive..after that I will brew a pot of coffee and make hot water to replenish. This is just a great way to get people in the door and a beverage in their hands during that big "everyone arrive at once rush!"

I love this idea! We just got back from Europe the other week and every day I grabbed a coffee to go and just about burnt my hands. They don't believe or know about coffee sleeves! :) I wish I would have seen this post prior I would have made me a few.

I love this idea! I have never seen a DIY Halloween Bevvy bar before Holly! You are so clever! I might just want to take one of each of those drinks though! ;) Would love it if you would share this at my new "It's a Party" Linky Party here: http://www.settingforfour.com/2012/10/ive-got-big-announcement-today.html Hope to see you there! I stumbled, tweeted, pinned and G +'d this too :D
